Neck pain is a common condition that affects many individuals in the Colorado Springs area and across the state. Sometimes the cause is known, like a trauma (such as a car accident), and sometimes the symptoms progress and worsen over time seemingly without cause.
Neck pain is a condition that can be ongoing or short lived. Many patients seek treatments when the pain is severe or there are other associated symptoms with the pain, like headaches or numbness and/or tingling in the arms or hands. Neck pain may be multi-faceted due to the complex nature of the neck (or cervical) region. Pain and stiffness may occur from muscular and ligamentous injury, or more serious causes like bony pathologies or inter-vertebral disc injuries.
